How Skikda's prayer times are worked out

From Skikda, the Qibla is 109° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,603 km (2,239 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Skikda's own coordinates (36.88°N, 6.91°E), not a national average. That is why Skikda's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Skikda timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Skikda lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 41 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:18 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 34m near June down to 11h 11m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Skikda come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Hamma Bouziane, Constantine and Guelma. Each is only a few minutes off Skikda's clock.
